Risk Change Over Time
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Risks Related Ownership of Our Securities The market for our common stock is new and may not develop to provide investors with adequate liquidity.
We only recently conducted our initial public offering in October of 2021. Therefore, the market for our common stock is new, and we cannot assure you that an active trading market for our common stock will develop, or if it does develop, it may not be maintained. You may not be able to sell your common stock quickly or at the market price if trading in our securities is not active.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2If we fail to regain compliance with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, our common stock may be delisted and the price of our common stock and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted.
On June 3, 2022, we received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market, or Nasdaq, notifying us that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for our common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market, referred to as the minimum bid price rule. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, we were provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until November 30, 2022, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule. We did not regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule by the initial compliance date, and applied for an additional duration of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule, a period expiring on May 30, 2023. Apart from the aforementioned notice, on December 29, 2022, further Nasdaq notified us that due to the resignations of Mr. Jeffrey S. Mathiesen, Mr. John Leo and Ms. April Bjornstad from the our board of directors, audit committee and compensation committee, we no longer complied with Nasdaq's independent director, audit committee and compensation committee requirements as set forth in Listing Rule (i) 5605(b)(1) which requires that a majority of the board of directors be composed of "independent directors" as defined by Rule 5605(a)(2); (ii) Rule 5605(c)(2) which requires that the board continue to have an audit committee of at least three members, each of whom must be an independent director as defined under Rule 5605(a)(2); and (iii) Rule 5605(d)(2) which requires that the board continue to have a compensation committee of at least two members who must be independent directors as defined under Rule 5605(a)(2). In response to this, Nasdaq gave us until January 27, 2023 to submit a compliance plan, which was submitted on January 27, 2023 and accepted by the Nasdaq on January 27, 2023 granting us an extension of up to 180 days from December 29, 2022 for the Company to evidence compliance. To date, we have not regained compliance with the minimum bid price rule, but have regained compliance with respect to Nasdaq's independent director, audit committee and compensation committee requirements as set forth in Listing Rule 5605(b)(1), Rule 5605(c)(2), and Rule 5605(d)(2). If, at any time during the additional compliance period the bid price for our common stock closes at $1.00 or more per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department staff will provide written notification to us that we are in compliance with the minimum bid price rule, unless the staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10-day period pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rules. On October 19, 2022, we filed a definitive proxy statement for a Special Meeting of Stockholders that was held on November 17, 2022 at which meeting we approved the resolution to give our board the discretion to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock in a range of split ratios from 1-for-2 to 1-for-10 at any time prior to May 29, 2023. If we do not regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule by the required date and we are not eligible for any additional compliance period at that time, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department staff will provide us written notification that our common stock may be delisted. At that time, we may appeal the staff's delisting determination to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel. We expect that our common stock would remain listed pending the panel's decision. However, there can be no assurance that, even if we appeal the staff's delisting determination to the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel, such appeal would be successful. There are many factors that may adversely affect our minimum bid price, including those described throughout this section titled "Risk Factors." Many of these factors are outside of our control. As a result, we may not be able to sustain compliance with the minimum bid price rule in the long term. Any potential delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market would likely result in decreased liquidity and increased volatility for our common stock and would adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital or to enter into strategic transactions. Any potential delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market would also make it more difficult for our stockholders to sell our common stock in the public market.
Risk Highlights Q2, 2026

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 43
- Regulation - Risk 1In the event our software platforms and solutions are found to be subject to FDA's regulations and approval in connection with the certain types of medical devices our software integrates with, we may have to incur additional costs or be subjected to potential criminal and civil penalties in case of the actual or perceived failure of us to comply with such regulations.
Certain computer software products are regulated as medical devices under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The 21st Century Cures Act, passed in December 2016, clarified the definition of a medical device to exclude health information technology such as Electronic Health Records; however, the legislation did leave the opportunity for that designation to be revisited if determined to be necessary by changing industry and technological dynamics. Accordingly, the Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") may become increasingly active in regulating computer software intended for use in healthcare settings. Depending on the product, we could be required to notify the FDA and demonstrate substantial equivalence to other products on the market before marketing such products or obtain FDA approval by demonstrating safety and effectiveness before marketing a product. Depending on the intended use of a device, the FDA could require us to obtain extensive data from clinical studies to demonstrate safety or effectiveness or substantial equivalence. If the FDA requires this data, we could be required to obtain approval of an investigational device exemption before undertaking clinical trials. Clinical trials can take extended periods of time to complete. We cannot provide assurances that the FDA would approve or clear a device after the completion of such trials. In addition, these products would be subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act's general controls. The FDA can impose extensive requirements governing pre- and post-market conditions such as approval, labelling, and manufacturing, as well as governing product design controls and quality assurance processes. Failure to comply with FDA requirements can result in criminal and civil fines and penalties, product seizure, injunction, and civil monetary policies-each of which could have an adverse effect on our business.
- Regulation - Risk 2We may be subject to liability as a result of a failure or a perceived failure to comply with laws and regulations governing approval and reimbursement of claims by healthcare industry payers.
Our software solutions allow to electronically transmits medical claims by physicians to patients' payers for approval and reimbursement. In addition, our services include assistance in cloud processing and submission of medical claims by physicians to patients' payers for approval and reimbursement. Federal law provides that it is both a civil and a criminal violation for any person to submit, or cause to be submitted, a claim to any payer, including, without limitation, Medicare, Medicaid, and all private health plans and managed care plans, seeking payment for any services or products that overbills or bills for items that have not been provided to the patient. We have in place policies and procedures that we believe assure that all claims that are transmitted by our system and through our services are accurate and complete, provided that the information given to us by our clients is also accurate and complete. If, however, we or our subcontractors do not follow those procedures and policies, or they are not sufficient to prevent inaccurate claims from being submitted, we could be subject to liability.
- Regulation - Risk 3The Company and its products are subject to laws and regulations concerning electronic prescribing standards and the adoption of controlled substance electronic prescribing. Our actual or perceived failure to comply with these laws and regulations could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation, or prospects.
The use of our software by physicians to perform a variety of functions, including electronic prescribing, which refers to the electronic routing of prescriptions to pharmacies and the ensuing dispensation, is governed by state and federal law, including fraud and abuse laws. States have differing prescription format requirements, which we have programmed into our software. There is significant variation in the laws and regulations governing prescription activity, as federal law and the laws of many states permit the electronic transmission of certain controlled prescription orders, while the laws of several states neither specifically permit nor specifically prohibit the practice. Restrictions exist at the federal level on the use of electronic prescribing for controlled substances and certain other drugs, including a regulation enacted by the Drug Enforcement Association in mid-2010. However, some states (most notably New York) have passed complementary laws governing the use of electronic prescribing tools in the use of prescribing opioids and other controlled substances, and we expect this to continue to be addressed with regulations in other states. In addition, the HHS published its final "E-Prescribing and the Prescription Drug Program" regulations in 2005 (effective January 1, 2006), and final regulations governing the standards for electronic prescribing under Medicare Part D in 2008 (effective June 6, 2008) (the "ePrescribing Regulations"). These regulations are required by the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 ("MMA") and consist of detailed standards and requirements, in addition to the HIPAA Standard discussed above, for prescription and other information transmitted electronically in connection with a drug benefit covered by the MMA's Prescription Drug Benefit. Further, in 2016, Congress passed the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act, which contained components related to Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs and other elements that relate to the use of our technologies. These standards are detailed and broad and cover not only routing transactions between prescribers and pharmacies, but also electronic eligibility, formulary, and benefits inquiries. In general, regulations in this area can be burdensome and evolve regularly, meaning that any potential benefits to our clients from utilizing such solutions and services may be superseded by a newly promulgated regulation that adversely affects our business model. Our efforts to provide solutions that enable our clients to comply with these regulations could be time consuming and expensive. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with the aforementioned laws and regulations in connection with our products and services provided to our clients or used by third parties, or our related legal obligations, or any compromise of security that results in the unauthorized release or transfer protected information, may result in governmental enforcement actions, litigation, class action, or public statements against us by consumer advocacy groups or others and could cause our clients to lose trust in us, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation, or prospects.
- Regulation - Risk 4The Company and its products are subject to laws and regulations concerning healthcare provider's practices and patients' information protection. Our actual or perceived failure to comply with these laws and regulations could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation, or prospects.
As part of the operation of our business, we, and our subcontractors may have access to, or our clients may provide to us, individually identifiable health information related to the treatment, payment, and operations of providers' practices. In the United States, government and industry legislation and rulemaking, especially HIPAA, HITECH, and standards and requirements published by industry groups such as the Joint Commission require the use of standard transactions, standard identifiers, security other standards and requirements for the transmission of certain electronic health information. National standards and procedures underripe include the "Standards for Electronic Transactions and Code Sets" (the "Transaction Standards"); the "Security Standards" (the "Security Standards"); and the "Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information" (the "Privacy Standards"). The Transaction Standards require the use of specified data coding, formatting, and content in all specified "healthcare Transactions" conducted electronically. The Security Standards require the adoption of specified types of security measures for certain electronic health information, which is called Protected Health Information ("PHI"). The Privacy Standards grant a number of rights to individuals as to their PHI and restrict the use and disclosure of PHI by "Covered Entities," defined as "health plans," "healthcare providers," and "healthcare clearinghouses." Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with the aforementioned laws and regulations in connection with our products and services provided to our clients or used by third parties, or our related legal obligations, or any compromise of security that results in the unauthorized release or transfer protected information, may result in governmental enforcement actions, litigation, class action, or public statements against us by consumer advocacy groups or others and could cause our clients to lose trust in us, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation or prospects.
- Regulation - Risk 5We may be subject to false or fraudulent claim laws.
There are numerous federal and state laws that forbid the submission of false information or the failure to disclose information in connection with submission and payment of physician claims for reimbursement. In some cases, these laws also forbid the abuse of existing systems for such submission and payment. Any failure of our revenue cycle management services to comply with these laws and regulations could result in substantial liability including, but not limited to, criminal liability, could adversely affect demand for our services and could force us to expend significant capital, research and development, and other resources to address the failure. Errors by us or our systems with respect to entry, formatting, preparation, or transmission of claim information may be determined or alleged to be in violation of these laws and regulations. Determination by a court or regulatory agency that our services violate these laws could subject us to civil or criminal penalties, invalidate all or portions of some of our client contracts, require us to change or terminate some portions of our business, require us to refund portions of our services fees, cause us to be disqualified from serving clients doing business with government payers and have an adverse effect on our business.
- Regulation - Risk 6We may be directly and indirectly liable for its client's non-compliance with laws and regulations addressing Electronic Health Records.
A number of relevant federal and state laws govern the use and content of EHRs, including fraud and abuse laws that may affect the approach to our technological solutions. We provide solutions and expert services in connection with EHR to a variety of healthcare providers. As a result, our platforms and services have to be designed in a manner that facilitates our clients' compliance with applicable laws and regulations. We cannot predict the content or effect of possible changes to these laws or new federal and state laws that might govern these systems and services. Furthermore, we may be required to obtain pertinent certifications or permissions to meet industry standards that could adversely impact our business.
- Regulation - Risk 7We are subject to numerous regulatory requirements of the healthcare industry and is susceptible to a changing regulatory environment.
As a participant in the healthcare industry, our operations and relationships, and those of our clients, are regulated by a number of foreign, federal, state, and local governmental entities. The impact of such regulations on us, our products, and our services can be both direct and indirect. The direct impact is present to the extent we are ourselves subject to the pertinent laws and regulations. The indirect effect of such regulations can be experienced both in terms of the level of government reimbursement available to our clients and to the extent, our products must be capable of being used by our clients in a manner compliant with applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, our efforts to expand into new markets internationally may subject us to numerous additional laws and regulations that may be potentially burdensome in compliance. The ability of our clients to comply with laws and regulations while using our software platforms and solutions could affect the marketability of our products or our compliance with our client contracts or even expose us to direct liability under the theory that we had assisted our clients in a violation of healthcare laws or regulations. Because our business relationships with doctors, hospitals, and Life Sciences clients are unique and the healthcare IT industry (as a whole) is. to a certain extent, in its incipient stage, the application of many state and federal regulations to our business operations and to our clients may be uncertain. Additionally, a tendency to impose additional regulation in the U.S. federal and state privacy and security laws (such as CCPA); fraud and abuse laws, including anti-kickback laws and limitations on physician referrals; numerous quality measurement programs being adopted by our clients; and laws related to distribution and marketing, including the off-label promotion of prescription drugs, which may be directly or indirectly applicable to our operations and relationships or the business practices of our clients. It is possible that a review of our business practices or those of our clients by courts or regulatory authorities could result in a determination that could adversely affect us. In addition, the healthcare regulatory environment may change in a way that restricts our existing operations or our growth. The healthcare industry generally and the EHR industry specifically are expected to continue to undergo significant legal and regulatory changes for the foreseeable future, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results. We cannot predict the effect of possible future enforcement, legislation, and regulation.
- Regulation - Risk 8Increased government involvement in healthcare could materially and adversely impact our business.
United States healthcare system reform at both the federal and state level could increase government involvement in healthcare, reconfigure reimbursement rates and otherwise change the business environment of our clients and the other entities with which we have a business relationship. We cannot predict whether or when future healthcare reform initiatives at the federal or state level or other initiatives affecting our business will be proposed, enacted, or implemented or what impact those initiatives may have on our business, financial condition, or operating results. Our clients and the other entities with which we have a business relationship could react to these initiatives and the uncertainty surrounding these proposals by curtailing or deferring investments, including those for our products and services.
- Regulation - Risk 9There is significant uncertainty in the healthcare industry, both as a result of recently enacted legislation and changing government regulation, which may have a material adverse impact on the businesses of our hospital clients and ultimately on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The healthcare industry is subject to changing political, economic, and regulatory influences that may affect the procurement processes and operation of healthcare facilities, including our hospital clients. During the past decade, the healthcare industry has been subject to increased legislation and regulation of, among other things, reimbursement rates, payment programs, information technology programs, and certain capital expenditures (collectively, the "Health Reform Laws"). The Health Reform Laws contain various provisions that impact us and our clients. Some of these provisions have a positive impact, by expanding the use of electronic health records in certain federal programs, for example, while others, such as reductions in reimbursement for certain types of providers, have a negative impact due to fewer available resources. The continued increase in fraud and abuse penalties is expected to adversely affect participants in the healthcare sector, including us. The activity related to the repeal, repair, and/or replacement of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("PPACA"), including any changes resulting from continued judicial and congressional challenges to certain aspects of the law, and the 2015 repeal of the Sustainable Growth Rate and replacement with the MACRA may have an impact on our business. The Affordable Care Act, passed in 2010, contained various provisions that have impacted us and our clients, and any replacement or adjustment of that law may change requirements related to our products or how our clients use them, as well as reimbursement available to our clients. These may have a positive impact by requiring the expanded use of EHRs and analytics tools to participate in certain federal programs, for example, while others, such as those mandating reductions in reimbursement for certain types of providers, may have a negative impact by reducing the resources available to purchase our products. Increases in fraud and abuse enforcement and penalties may also adversely affect participants in the healthcare sector, including us. As existing regulations mature and become better defined, we anticipate that these regulations will continue to directly affect certain of our products and services, but we cannot fully predict the effect at this time. We have taken steps to modify our products, services, and internal practices as necessary to facilitate our compliance with the regulations, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so in a timely or complete manner. Achieving compliance with these regulations could be costly and distract management's attention and divert other company resources, and any non-compliance by us could result in civil and criminal penalties.
